Utterly Insane $1,000,000+ Richard Mille RM 038

- This is a seminal moment for me. I’ve been around watches for over a decade, some costing many tens if not hundreds of thousands. But not like this. This watch, the limited-edition Richard Mille Tourbillon Bubba Watson RM 038, is worth over $1,000,000, probably closer to $1.3m. What the actual f-

The engineering of this watch is insane like the price, but by the end of the day it still looks like an expensive Gshock.
Isn't that a compliment though? People love how G-Shocks look.
Now imagine a 1mil G-Shock...
@G-Shack 1970 that shows you how irrational humans can be. Agree it does not cost more than 5k , but people are willing to pay 1 million dollar ? Blows my mind.
TBH a gshock is probably more durable, look at the scratches already present on the watch crystal.
@G-Shack 1970 okay now you're just being an idiot. it definitely does NOT. You know it takes them like 5 years to R&D each of these, just to make like 100 of them, right? The finishing is Patek level, the skeletonization is comparable to AP's, and it's all hand assembled. All super expensive materials inside and out. And then an ultra shock resistant tourbillon, a complication that already usually costs tens of thousands. That's not 5k.
They apparently couldn't make it scratch-proof...
Yeah man those scratches on a $1.3 mil watch wth
Under that macro lense I can see imperfections in the finish and machine work on certain mechanisms of the movement which would drive me insane if I were to have paid $1.3 million for this watch.
It looks like it came from the Far East
5:47 Watchfinder didn't even bother cleaning it before shooting the video, because they know that anyone who would consider buying this crap doesn't actually care about that kind of stuff.
Looks pretty horrific under macro. Unimaginable that they're going for north of a million bucks.
It is intentional that the movement finish has what you probably refer to as "tooling marks". They're in there to theoretically trap stray dust particles.
Only love for my OCD Brother! 🥂😆
Richard Mille... the physical proof that money is no measure of taste.
😂😂😂😂
And no amount of money can make this watch tasteful. It's ugly.
yeah one really ugly watch with absurd price
Is it just me or does it look like there's little specs of dust inside the black one.
Or maybe most are just too Basic to appreciate beauty beyond the Basic?
From an engineering perspective, it's incredible. From an aesthetic one, you really couldn't pay me enough to wear it
My 10 dollar Marathon tells time fine 🤣
Hyperbole is kinda passe, dontcha think?
Completely agree with Neil on this one. This has got to be the ugliest Luxury watch on the market full of complications most don’t need. Especially for over a million dollars. Just my opinion. The tech is awesome. But it looks like a hundred dollar Casio on the wrist from 10ft away.
Agree
@@michaelmyers4176 while I agree, most luxury watch owners don't need anything besides the date and time. Most won't even take their Submariner below 2m of water, so I think your argument applies to ALL watches. I doubt someone actually uses the GMT complication (or even need it). The complications IS what makes the watch luxury.
As a retired mechanical engineer I would be interested to examine that movement at close quarters, especially as the finishing leaves a lot to be desired.However, the overall design and the shape of the tonneau case and that appalling strap, leaves me cold. It also makes the the main reason for having a watch, that is, reading the time, rather difficult with all of the mechanism behind the hands.
I was thinking the same abou its legibility
It is intentional that the movement finish has what you probably refer to as "tooling marks". They're in there to theoretically trap stray dust particles. Secondly, this is not a watch for you or me. It's a halo effort to show what the company can do, technologically. BTW, I'm also an M/E and work in manufacturing.
this watch is piece of art watchmaking, you cant judge it by regular watch standards.
as a retired mechanical engineer you should realize that a skeletonized mechanical watch with a tourbillion that costs more than a million is hardly for telling the time, dufus.
@Will Harris another dufus who is here to state the obvious. many things in this world today are not worth their cost, einstein. again, people who buy a million dollar tourbillion RM are hardly wearing it to tell the time. if all you need in a watch is to tell the time, go buy a timex easy reader.
$1 million, yet the minutes hand is bent, and the center screw is leaking some brownish stuff
I think it has to be because of the heavily curved crystal. Still, yeah, doesn't look great. At least you can't really tell the second hand on a Speedmaster is bent!
I was just looking at that too when I saw the white paint looking weird! 😆
Definitely the crystal making it look bent. At 3:29, you can see it is straight.
It’s not bent, and this is a used watch
The youtube suggestion for the next video to watch was the $100 G-Shock, which does everything better than the RM apart from showing how much money you have. The macro on the hand lume was shocking too.
How a watch so expensive, is so dirty inside? Oil on side of the jewels.. Escape wheel with dust on it... Upper cage too. I don't get why such a company don't have a great control quality. And it's just what I can see on the video as a professional Swiss watchmaker.
RM is garbage hype
You do realize it's a used watch, probably serviced who knows where dozen of times.
Watchfinder is a dealer in *used* watches so yeah, it might have been opened/serviced.
Of course this watch been serviced! With all scratches on the crystal. Nevertheless the work of Richard Mille watchmakers at the service center should be perfect. And specially who does overhaul on tourbillon pieces. So serviced or not. 😉
This watch is over 10 years old. Who knows what happened to in in the last 10 years.
I'm not a golfer but my father is and has belonged to country clubs since I was a kid - all of those guys always wear their Rolex while golfing and never seem to have problems. Even if they did, they could buy a Rolex a year for the rest of their lives and spend less than they would on this watch. The idea that this watch has any practical value is absurd
makes sense.
a Rolex also has no Practical Value when a simple CASIO watch could do the job even better and more accurate... This RM is not made for regular Golfers.
You could by one Casio f-91w a month for 57 years and you would have paid roughly the same as one Submariner (market price). A F91-W is a more practical watch and probably better for golfing.
0 watches over $10 have any practical value
I realize what is said about what can happen on a golf course to your caliber, but, I've golfed with many people wearing Rolex and they are fine. I personally don't risk it and wear an inexpensive Seiko which also holds up without issue.
I personally wear a £20 Casio for golf. Lightweight, comfortable and no bother about scratching it up in bushes.
@@fishmeister2625 Stop being sensible, dammit!!
@@petepeter1857 You're right, I just liquidated all my accounts and bought an RM Bubba so I can look cool on the course. Makes sense now. Haha.
That’s a whole lotta ugly for 1.2 mill…..
I had a similar watch when i was a kid which my grandpa bought from a local toy store 😄
Given Mille’s direct relationship between hideousness and price, they should maybe take a crack at a bargain watch to mix things up a bit.
Who knows what beauty may await.
And still looks like a watch that comes out of a happy meal
lol
Or a watch that’s worth more than your generational wealth
@@alin4507 nope. But thanks for coming out LOL
The Happy Mille Watch 😵💫
No cap, I prefer a mediocre/entry level seiko than this garbo
Wuff, those macros are not doing that watch any favors, does RM do any finishing?
I saw brown colored something (rust?) at 2:26-2:29!
First I apologize for my spelling, because English is not my language.
Sorry ... I find it obscenity to pay that indecent amount of money for a magnesium rubber watch.
I agree that everyone makes their money what they want and that it is a brand that a very specific profile of people buy only "because you have to have it."
But I am not able to understand how someone pays for something 1000 times more than it costs to manufacture. You just have to see in this video the bent minute hand, the dirt inside the case and the misapplied lume.
The watch game is gone crazy this year.. who thought a Rolex submariner stainless steel will be considered entry-level.
Only amongst the targets of r/WatchesCirclejerk. No ordinary human or watch lover thinks that the Submariner is entry level. It's the extreme watch twats that have gone crazy, not the watches or most of us who enjoy the things. The prices have indeed gone stupid but they were stupid before, they just got more stupid. I sit here happy as can be with my Sinn 356.
@@Stigstigster I love my submariner however at the minute it feels like plain Jane.
They’ve always been fairly close to entry level tbf
@@thewatchg.o.a.t.9157 all watches feel like that after the initial excitement is gone, I was thinking if we can run a profitable watch rental business. Imagine a large inventory and you just rent it to customers who will just wear a particular watch for a few days or months.
@@sahtemehdiavcstarkd8712 That would work for me but Geneva probably won’t like it LOL
Robin Williams said that cocaine was God's way of telling you that you had too much money. The ongoing success of Richard Mille reminds the rest of us that there are too many people with too much money.
(... and that money can't buy you taste!)
Satellite Wave watches from Citizen have a feature that automatically aligns the hands after a shock. And they receive GPS signal from space which automatically corrects the time based on your physical location. And they cost less than $1000. The point of owning an RM is not for functionality, and I'll leave it at that.
true
The most grossly overpriced garbage in the watch industry. If these watches cost as much as sports rolex, no one would care. The fact that they are so ridiculously overpriced is the main reason why the very rich will buy them! Also, the sloppy finishing on of the Tourbillon cage mounting points/screws cant be unseen and is unacceptable at this price point.
You obviously don't understand marketing. This is a "halo effort" on what the company can do.
@@TucsonDude fully understand but the halo effort seems to extend to every piece. Thanks for the lesson!
@@superfast30 I think RM actually works for another larger company and this is his side business, right? Asking price is pretty much meaningless, anyway.
lol
Parts - $1000
Assembly - $999,000
If you smelter down the elements in a Ferrari F40, they'd probably only be worth $500. What's your point?
It's just a status symbol for people who want to tell the world they can spend $1M on a watch. Nothing more nothing less.
Sounds like your haven't watched the video at all. This is an engineering marvel, whether or not you like the design.
No .my friend Hunter is right.. spend your money its yours..but think of all the good things you could offer to others..make some people ,some families happy for a bit.save some lifes.. plus... Nothing is like casio my friend ;)
Why do all Richard Mille watches basically look the same no matter the price ? The only difference is the color .
They literally look like the even more cocained version of a franck muller.
It's called a signature design. A very recognizable one.
@@smashexentertainment676 Well in my opinion you can have a signature design but not the whole brand . Rolex has Daytona , Yacht Master, Sky-Dweller and AP has Royal Oak plus others and Hublot has Big Bang and Patek has Nautilus. Richard Mille is so over priced and if you take 10 Richard Mille owners at different price points they will “ look Like “ they are all wearing the same watches . I personally like a variety so I don’t look like everyone else.
@@Brazconj The most common RM shape is tonneau, but they also have rectangular and a diverse line of circle watches. Plus tonneau shape has variety of options, like thin, small, chunky even weird (RM 70-01, RM 61-01). RM 27-04 definitely looks unique.
And yes, sometimes you can actually tell them apart just by color.
They only ever produced slightly more than 50 000 watches including female models, so IMO there's plenty of diversity for that amount.
I can tell most of them apart.
@@smashexentertainment676 Thanks for your comment and it proves everyone is different and that is what I mean variety is the best because not all of us like the same things . Thanks Again and I will look at those watches you pointed out .
A casio g-shock would have done the job for the golfers 😅
At first I thought 0:29 was a mistake but it’s hilarious and intentional. I love the personality coming through
I burst out laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could not care less about the money, as I could never own one.
As an architect and artist I am fascinated by the machinery and materials.
But,... I am totally "wtf" about all the trash inside the case. I mean really...wtf.
Best intro yet 😂
I don't like RM... If one gives me an RM, I'll exchange it with lange(s) or jlc(s)…
The utterly insane kid's Lucky Bag watch
Cheez they are ugly.
What the actual F... was what I was thinking
I worked for a sports agency as a summer internship while in law school. One of our clients wanted this watch. We weren't able to get it for him due to the waiting list and all that. I always liked watches, but shopping for this exact watch open my eyes to the watch world.
Ah yes, the overhyped and ugly (to many, not all) RM
It's a really cool concept, but so niche. One million dollars for something like this is really crazy, but I guess people will pay that amount and probably for status rather than the performance factor of the watch.
If performance was what people paid for in a watch - Casios would be the most expensive
RM watches baffle me, they make so many limited editions and one offs but all they ever do is look like cheap colour palette swops.
Lmaooooo that intro 😂
This watch is a big gamble to pay such an outrageous sum of money for a brand that is relatively new and endorsed predominantly by overhyped adverts along with high earning celebrities.
Richard Mille shares a problem with Hublot: their designs will age badly. They might look cool now but will be antiquated in a couple of decades
They'll have to wait another 30 or 40 years for the style to come back around again. In the meantime I'll stick to more timeless designs.
No way this is worth that
50m WR for a 1m watch lmao
On a rubber strap…lmao.
The ugliest object of the entire Milky Way…
Premium place !
yeah, what the actual F
The finish of that paint job, is like my second try of spray paint in the mid summer having the sun 🌞 directly on the piece that I'm spraying.
If this isn't a "let them eat cake" then I don't know what is.
The lume application looks like shit, and the sapphire is already scratched. RM is not worth the money. It’s like a Hublot on crack 🤣
And it has badly scratch on the glass
RM is everything that is wrong with the modern watchmaking world.
Richard Mille ostentatiously designs watches to be complex for the sake of appearing complex. The end result is a product devoid of elegance, refinement, and aesthetic appeal. Its like some monster consumed a copious amount of gears and springs and vomited it out, and by some miracle, it all congealed together to function, at the expense of legibility and beauty. Then you have a bunch of pretentious people, who have more money than taste, that will pay ungodly sums of money to have something that looks like the horological equivalent of a cyberpunk nightmare.
Yeah, people like Jackie Chan, Terry Crews, Kevin Hart, Silvester Stallone, Ed Sheeran, Yusaku Maezawa, etc.
@@smashexentertainment676 Talent and success in one area in no way guarantees that one makes good decisions in other areas. I think when people get this wealthy, like the illustrious individuals you mentioned, they buy expensive things just because they can, and to show that they can.
@@alphacause lol, it seems like you're just projecting your own shallowness and taste on others.
Beauty is subjective.
@@smashexentertainment676 If I may, stop being pretentious
@@petepeter1857 the dude is forcing a fake stereotype on people who clearly don't fit it and is using his personal taste as the universal standard. And I'm the pretentious one? Sure.
My £20 Casio W-216HM-7BVEF is the perfect shock-resistant RM Bubba alternative. Probably wears more comfortably too.
By this logic my 08 Honda shreds a Phantom i guess
Both can get me to work
I’ll never completely understand RM- in general, they’re very underwhelming for their price point- but admit they are very important watches that shaped the industry. This particular movement looks impressive too, I just find the case utterly disgusting.
I’d rather have a Lange
*marketing
That’s what really separates RM from all other watch makes. Traditionally you basically let the watch sell itself, but RM was like nawwww we have a different idea 💡
@@RadDadisRad ooo yes 😍😉
Rappers need watches to show off their money.
@@Diepvries11 by buying this they also show that they have no taste.
I couldn’t bare to wear this watch, even if I had a incredibly inflated ego.
@Doc Holiday. Should be couldn't BEAR to wear
Leave Richard mille alone, we want mb & f
In my opinion, this is a unique and cool looking watch, and one of the better looking RM's. But 1 mil on a watch like this is just insane, RM's prices are insane, and some of their watches use other manufactures movements. Imagine spending 250k for a dressed up version of another movement... I guess that's what you get with a "basic" RM (I believe RM's like this one feature in house movements because they are more higher end).
Great timing on the video, I was just looking for a sports watch to replace my Casio F91W.
I spent this whole vid trying to figure out if the minute hand is actually bent or if it’s just some optical illusion because of the curved crystal… the hand totally looks like it’s bent through the whole production.
Every Chinese brand of watch on Amazon has utterly ruined this kind of visual mess of a watch.
You sure this is a real watch? I've seen less dust and scratches in a used G shock.
Call me crazy but my very first rule when I wear a watch is to easily tell the time. Kinda like owning a vehicle, rule one, get me from A to B. Reading the time is a challenge on that RM dial.
Luxury fashion watches…..pure class???? No pure trash at its best!
COSTS a million WORTH much less.
Even with a price tag of $1,000, I dislike at all. Not my cup of tea. I would never wear a so ugly watch. No matter of tecnical solution or whatever it, it is so far away from my idea of watch. Puff Daddy & Co. toy
lol
I don't get it. I write to request a review of the Atmos Jaeger Coutuer, and you write me back that it's too expensive to get your hands on to review... a maybe $10,000 clock. And yet here we are reviewing a $1m watch?
I don't get it... why ask for requests if you're going to play games like this?
I’ve been around golf and golfers my entire life and I’ve never heard one of them say: “Damn, the force of my swing just broke my watch”. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS
When a wrist watch sells for one million dollars you can be sure the end to the asset bubble is in sight.
the watch is impressive. what's utterly insane is the market prices people drive these things to.
I was looking at a $100 casio the other day and now Im seeing this $1mil RM on the same channel🤣😅
Do you think Richard Mille looses money on each sale of the watch like Bugatti does on each car sale!
Love your content but sorry mate, Richard Mille watches are fugly af!
not gonna lie if someone asked me for the time, with how busy this watch is, id probably couldn't tell them.
I still wear my father's 1951 Universal which he wore around the golf course for a good 30 years it has never been serviced as far I know and still keeps perfect time
Another complication of this watch is that it's probably the easiest way to carry a million dollar asset with you
The hour hand on this watch drives me crazy
What a profit the manufacturer makes on that sale!!!!
It's not the watch that is "insane". It's the guys paying that much for it. Even if you have the money you shouldn't just throw it away.
Love the introduction, and a decade in watches is a considerable amount of time. For the record, am with watches nearly four decades, bought and sold, can't even remember how many high end watches. Yes this a marvel of engineering with a distinctive design however it's futuristic does make it look like a gshock...
It may cost over 1MM but it's worth is up to the individual. I don't like RM watches, nor could I afford one but I do enjoy your story telling.
Your too good! Your descriptions of the watches your reviewing keeps me captivated even I’m not particularly interested in the watch your reviewing at that moment because I learn something every time. And every now and then you come with some comedy about the watch that makes you more relatable to me! Congratulations
The voiceover reminds me of Doo-Rag from Noel Fielding's luxury comedy. It's cool being one of the three or four people who ever actually watched that show.
Just for clarification ... cost does NOT always equal worth. I'm sure there are buyers with more money than sense that would relish the idea of having one of these pieces of jewelry, but I find it extremely hard to believe they are worth the asking price. 😲
R&D obviously plays a role in a watch of this price. The engineering aspect aside, I am curious how much time it takes to produce one and what the cost of materials are.
@0:31 editing mistake
It was on purpose 😂
Idk how i really feel about Richard Mille but i think their look is growing on me for some reason.
Watches where you can’t even the tell the time clearly. That’s next level
This is why humanity's days are numbered. 1.3 mil for a just-time watch which is without any special or precious metals or functions. It looks like a toy. 1.3 mil is just crazy no matter what the engineering and design aesthetics are. In the Victorian times they took out the beauty even from hunks of metal. Beauty and utter form is very difficult to combine, and this watch looks just like a zig zaged hunk of metal.
But why does it cost 1 mill?
Bougienessness!
Because idiots are a dime a dozen...they're inversely proportional to gaudy, perverse watches.
Your delivery and the snow globe reference from 1:35 to 2:15 is low key hilarious! 😂
Complete this by making them in the shape of tulips and remove any doubt.
What the actual F
I like the dry and fairly respectful humor.
Personally I've always loved the style of RMs, but I cannot fathom the idea that they're worth anything near what they some how go for.
2021 I went to Harvard for my MBA. The most important thing I learned is called Destructive Innovation. I am a watch collector myself. From Patek gold dress watch to Rolex steel sport watch, now to these light weighted personal identity based style watch, it is real demonstrating the success of the business. Not only innovative, but also destructive. For me, this is not my type watch but I still appreciate it.
Jake Paul is about to cop himself one from China
in 2:47 it looks like there is some scratches on the glass in top left corner esp! Sick
You don't need a preposterous expensive RM for golf or tennis. A 60 euro G-Shock DW-5600E can survive just fine.
The forces that a golf ball sees is not the same as the forces on the wrist during a swing. Plenty of golfers wear mechanical watches on the field.
Definitely not worth the money!!but then some people do have stupid amounts of money 💰 🙄
i'm pretty sure somewhere a golfer is wearing a Seiko 5 and the watch still works perfectly after the match :))
For the same amount of money I could buy Patek, A.Lange & Söhne, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Zenith, a house and a Ferrari. Maybe there will be some change left for a coffee.
